tt_news

1.7.9. XML feeds from tt_news

To enable your site for serving news as XML-feed, add the static ext-template "News-feed (RSS 0.91, RSS 2 , RDF, Atom 0.3, Atom 1.0)" to your TypoScript setup. This adds a new page-type (100) and configures tt_news with the code "XML", if a page with type=100 is requested.

 

 

 

the other settings for XML feeds can be configured in the constant editor or directly in your TypoScript setup.

 

 

Here's a comparison chart of the required (r), optional (o) and not available (n/a) settings for the different feed formats:

	rss091	rss2	rdf	atom03	atom1
xmlTitle	r	r	r	r	r
xmlLink	r	r	r	r	o
xmlDesc	r	r	r	o	o
xmlLang	r	o	n/a	o (recommended)	n/a
xmlIcon	r	o	o (must be 88x31px)	n/a	n/a

 

 

If you want to include the settings by TS � Here's the code:

  # Configure tt_news to display the xml template 

  plugin.tt_news {

    displayXML {

      # rss091_tmplFile = EXT:tt_news/res/rss_0_91.tmpl

      # rdf_tmplFile = EXT:tt_news/res/rdf.tmpl

      # atom03_tmplFile = EXT:tt_news/res/atom_0_3.tmpl

      # atom1_tmplFile = EXT:tt_news/res/atom_1_0.tmpl

      rss2_tmplFile = EXT:tt_news/res/rss_2.tmpl

      # possibile values: rss091 / rss2 / rdf / atom03 / atom1

      xmlFormat = rss2

      xmlTitle = example.com: Latest News

      xmlLink = http://example.com/

      xmlDesc = Latest News

      xmlLang = en

      xmlIcon = fileadmin/tt_news_article.gif

      title_stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1

      title_stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars.preserveEntities = 1

      subheader_stdWrap.stripHtml = 1

      subheader_stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1

      subheader_stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars.preserveEntities = 1

      subheader_stdWrap.crop = 100 | ... | 1

      subheader_stdWrap.ifEmpty.field = bodytext

      xmlLastBuildDate = 1

    }

  }

  ## This enables the xml news feed

  xmlnews = PAGE

  xmlnews {

    typeNum = 100

    10 >

    10 < plugin.tt_news

    10.pid_list >

    10.pid_list = {$plugin.tt_news.pid_list}

    10.singlePid = {$plugin.tt_news.singlePid}

    10.defaultCode = XML

    config {

      disableAllHeaderCode = 1

      additionalHeaders = Content-type:text/xml

      no_cache = 1

      xhtml_cleaning = 0

    }

  }

  ## To get an additional RDF feed add the following rdffeed = PAGE
rdffeed < xmlnews rdffeed {

 10.displayXML.xmlFormat = rdf

 10.displayXML.xmlIcon = fileadmin/feed_icon_88x31.gif
 typeNum = 101
}
 ## To get an additional Atom 0.3 feed add the following atom03feed = PAGE
atom03feed < xmlnews atom03feed {
 10.displayXML.xmlFormat = atom03
 typeNum = 102
}

  ## To get an additional Atom 1.0 feed add the following

atom1feed = PAGE
atom1feed < xmlnews atom1feed {

  10.displayXML.xmlFormat = atom1
  typeNum = 103
}

Hint:
if you add the line below to the header of your site, browsers will detect this site as a RSS-source. (f.e. Firefox 1 with the nice "Add life bookmarks" feature)

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS-Feed"
